And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 36 Thinking about tea and over tea ceremony tea!

When Lu Yan and Mr. Xi Yi were discussing Taoism, two little Taoist priests brought Chen Yuan to the alchemy room.

After chatting with Chen Yuan, he found out that these two little Taoist priests were not the disciples of Mr. Xiyi, but the disciples of Mr. Huolong, named Zhang Quanyi and Zheng Yin.

No wonder when they came, they heard these two little Taoist priests calling Mr. Xi Yi their master.

Because Mr. Huolong didn't know how to teach his disciples, he left the two disciples to the master's teaching, while he spent the whole day traveling around the mountains and rivers, visiting relatives and friends, living a very free and easy life.

If Chen Yuan had chosen to worship Huolong Daoist as his teacher at that time, there was a great possibility that Mr. Huolong would throw him to his master to teach him and become a hands-off shopkeeper.

When Mr. Xiyi dug the wall just now, if Chen Yuan agreed, he would immediately become Mr. Huolong's younger brother, and the younger brother of these two little Taoist priests, but Chen Yuan rejected him.

The two little Taoist priests were also very curious about Chen Yuan, who almost became their junior and junior uncle, and asked him all kinds of questions.

I saw Zhang Quanyi and Zheng Yin, two little Taoist priests, continuously adding firewood to the alchemy furnace in front of me, which was one person tall, had nine holes, and had two ears.

Chen Yuan, who was standing beside him, asked, "What kind of pill is made in this pill furnace?"

Zhang Quan, who is taller than the senior brother Zheng Yin next to him, has big ears and round eyes:
"It's not an important pill, it's just a very common golden toad pill. After taking it, it can make ordinary people free from all diseases, but it has no effect on practitioners."

Hearing Zhang Quanyi's explanation, Chen Yuan thought of his master's rascal during the day, so he understood.

It turned out that during the day, Master Lu Yan was not really a scoundrel, and Mr. Xi Yi did not keep the two of them behind because of Master Lu Yan's intimidation.

During the day, it was probably just a joke between master Lu Yan and Mr. Xi Yi. Only close friends with a good relationship can chat so unscrupulously, laughing and cursing without hurting the friendship.

"By the way, senior brother Chen Yuan, just now the master said that we are rotten trees, and we have been unable to cultivate to the food-eating state for a long time. He said that you have only cultivated for three years, and you have cultivated a pill, which is a real good talent and beautiful jade. Is it true? "

After filling the alchemy furnace with firewood, Zheng Yin, who looks pretty like a woman, but is indeed a man, with a somewhat feminine temperament, turned around and asked curiously.

Although seriously counting, Chen Yuan's seniority is several generations older than Mr. Xi Yi's, but because of different Dao veins, they cannot be compared together.

Therefore, Lu Yan and Mr. Xiyi are on equal terms.

Although Zhang Quanyi and Zheng Yin joined Mr. Huolong's family relatively early.

However, Chen Yuan was older, so Zhang Quanyi and Zheng Yin both called Chen Yuan their seniors.

"When I was discussing with your master, I fell into the state of enlightenment by chance and coincidence. When I woke up, I not only learned their respective cultivation skills, but also cultivated to the food-breathing state. I just cultivated the pill two days ago. territory,."

Chen Yuan said truthfully.

"I really envy senior brother Chen Yuan. The master said that it will take at least seven years for the two of us to cultivate into the Qi state."

Zhang Quan said enviously.

"That's right, that's like Senior Brother Chen Yuan, who not only cultivated the food-qi state in three years, but also cultivated the pill embryo."

So is Zheng Yin.

During the conversation, the two little Taoist priests finished their work.

"How many years have you all worshiped Mr. Huolong?"

Chen Yuan asked.

"I started at the age of nine, and he started at the age of eight. This year I am thirteen, and he is twelve. What do you think, Senior Brother Chen Yuan?"

Zheng Yin pointed to the junior brother Zhang Quanyi who was next to him.

"It seems that both of you have been in the classroom for four years."

Chen Yuan understood for a moment when he heard the words.

Mr. Huolong once said that for ordinary ascetics, it would take them at least ten years to as many as thirty or forty years if they wanted to cultivate into the state of food.

The two little Taoist priests in front of me are disciples of Mr. Huolong. Since Mr. Xiyi said that they will be able to cultivate to the food-breathing state in about ten years, it means that these two little Taoist priests are geniuses with extremely high qualifications.

It's just that it can't be compared with him, he is an exception.

"By the way, senior brother Chen Yuan, did Mr. Lu teach you spells?"

Zhang Quanyi didn't mind the dust on the ground, he just sat down on the ground and looked up at Chen Yuan who was standing there.

"That's right, our master always puts the teaching first, and the art is the last. We asked the master to learn two kinds of skills, but the master scolded him every time."

Zheng Yin also echoed.

After hearing this, Chen Yuan couldn't help laughing and said:
"My master said the same thing. In the beginning, my master was unwilling to teach me spells, but later he taught me a "touching stone and turning a stone into gold."

"Alchemy?"

Zheng Yin and Zhang Quan said in surprise.

……

In this way, Lu Yan and Chen Xiyi discussed Taoism all night.

Chen Yuan, Zheng Yin, and Zhang Quanyi, two young Taoist priests, chatted in the alchemy room all night.

Let alone Lu Yan and Chen Xiyi.

Even Chen Yuan, Zheng Yin, and Zhang Quan, one or two little Taoist priests, could not feel sleepy even if they stayed up all night.

……

the next day.

The early morning in the mountains is mixed with a deep chill.

The red sun showed a touch of blood on the top of the mountain, and soon lit up the whole world.

Zheng Yin and Zhang Quan, two little Taoist priests, cooked a pot of clear porridge early in the morning, and with wild vegetables on the mountain, breakfast was over.

Then Zheng Yin and Zhang Quanyi, two young Taoist priests, under the instruction of Mr. Xi Yi, prepared the items for the crown scarf.

At noon, the sun is in the sky.

In the thatched hut where Mr. Xiyi lived, there was a table case.

Apart from three sandalwood incense burners and a copy of the "Tao Te Ching", there is nothing else on the table.

"Originally there are countless masters, but as my master said yesterday, although there are many friends for teachers, there are very few who can crown you."

"Except for the most important tutor, who is personally in charge of the teacher, Mr. Xiyi is in charge of the rest of the crown scarf teacher, hairdresser, and etiquette teacher."

A chair was placed in front of the incense table. Lu Yan sat on the chair and said solemnly to Chen Yuan who was kneeling on the futon three feet away.

"It's all up to the master."

Chen Yuan looked serious.

"The rest will be left to you, sir."

Lu Yan turned his gaze to the side again, Mr. Xi Yi who was dressed in a purple cloud-pattern robe.

"Wuxinchang, since you trust the old man so much, you will "crown the scarf" for your disciples and entrust the old man with such important matters, and the old man will take care of it for you."

But Mr. Xiyi said.

"Chen Yuan, first offer three cups of tea to your master."

Mr. Xi Yi said beside him.

Zhang Quanyi and Zheng Yin, who stood watching the excitement, immediately handed a cup of tea prepared in advance to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan knelt on the futon, leaned forward, raised his hands above his head, and respected the cup of tea.

Lu Yan took it with a smile, but did not drink it, but put the cup of tea on the table next to him.

When Chen Yuan was puzzled, Mr. Xi Yi explained next to him:
"This first cup of tea is called "Sicha" in the rituals of the crown and scarf, which means that the master should think carefully before accepting apprentices."

Afterwards, Chen Yuan took the second cup of tea from Zhang Quanyi, and raised the cup of tea above his head in respect.

After taking a sip, Lu Yan handed the teacup to Zheng Yin who was waiting at the side.

"This second cup of tea is called "Guo Cha", implying that the master agrees to accept apprentices."

Mr. Xi Yi said beside him.

Soon Chen Yuan respected the third cup of tea Zhang Quanyi handed over.

This time after Lu Yan took it, he neither put it down nor drank.

Instead, he stood up, dipped his middle finger and big finger in tea and put some tea on Chen Yuan's body. After doing this three times, he handed the teacup in his hand to Zheng Yin who was waiting beside him.

"This third cup of tea is named Dao Tea, which means that from now on, I will get rid of the secular body and convert to Taoism. I am a disciple of the Taoist ancestor."

Mr. Xi Yi said on the sidelines again.

"Ji Shou Three Treasures ceremony, the merits and blessings are boundless, the master introduces the door, and the practice lies in the individual..."

Afterwards, under Mr. Xiyi's gaze, Chen Yuan paid homage to the "Tao Te Ching" on the table.

After Lu Yan's teaching for so long, Chen Yuan already understood that what the "Tao Te Ching" represents in Taoism is not just an ordinary scripture, but the Supreme Dao Patriarch Lao Tzu.

Worshiping the "Tao Te Ching" is like worshiping the Taoist ancestor Laozi.

After Chen Yuan finished worshiping the Taoist ancestor, Lu Yan took out a memorial written on yellow paper from his arms and handed it to Chen Yuan:

"This is a memorial written for you by my teacher. You can see that there is something wrong."

Chen Yuan did as he was told, and when he opened it, he saw that the text inside read like this:
"Dayong Luzhou Prefecture governs Lujiang City Luxian Temple dwelling disciples, Chen Yuanjing, in order to follow the mysterious rules and save people, received a benevolent crown and scarf to abolish religious rituals. Today, on the [-]th day of the first month of the ninth year of Tianyun Tycoon, Burning incense to sue..."

Chen Yuan slowly turned to the end, and saw what was written above:
"The Patriarch's Huiguang shines on his blessings frequently, and Taiyi's thunder spreads his merits, and his meritorious deeds are transferred. The recorded disciple of the Donghua leader, Chen Yuan, converts..."
